    1st timer, needs tinnie help

    I just discovered this forum yesterday and have learned alot about some of the things in my collection. I have a couple of tinnies that I bought this past weekend, but I know nothing about them. Could someone help?
    The first one is has a person snow sking, and has the following imprinted on it. SKI -HEIL grosser feldberg taunus …881mu.m
    The second one, I guess it would be considered a tinnie, not really sure. It is a profile of a person, and has "HOLDERLIN" under the profile. I know by searching that he was a poet in the 1700's, but why would his profile be on a pin. I have pictures if that would help.
    Thanks for the help, and I really look forward to being a part of this great forum.

        The round tinnie was a souvenir of an annual, national Nazi Party Day meeting. These arevery common because so many people attended and the pins saw very wide distribution. "Ski Heil" was a civilian souvenir of skiing on Grosser Feldberg, the highest peak (881 meters/2886 feet high) in the Taunus mountain range of Hesse. Holderlin (I believe) was part of a series of pins of famous Germans given in return for donations to one of the annual the Winter Help funds. The button says "Police" on the back but I can't read the other marks.
